Review of The Gang's All Here

Yes, very surreal and inane but great fun. The musical numbers alone are worth the price of admission. Surreal in the fact that a small night club stage could produce dozens of dancers, a ship in water and wide, wide dance numbers that would fill a football field. Then the curtain closes on a the same small nightclub stage!!! Incredible. The end number is even more surreal and dream like. Can't begin to describe it, but it certainly couldn't be done in a garden!!!!! Alice Faye is as always, a delight to look at and listen to. Carmen Miranda, is well, Carmen Miranda and Charlotte Greenwood does her usual double jointed shtick that she does in every movie she's ever been in except Oklahoma. The men are annoying, especially the limp waisted Edward Everett Horton. Hard to believe he was married and had a daughter yet. Go figure. With Charlotte it must have been a marriage of convenience and the daughter probably adopted. Eugene Palette is also annoying and the less said about our here, James Elison, the better. So if you want silly, non sensical entertainment with lavish musical numbers. The Gangs All Here is for you. Otherwise, skip it!!!
